It was in July about two years ago. Usagi was in bed, or so I thought. I opened the door to check on her and saw her transform. I blinked a few times, not certain what I was seeing. I almost didn't believe my own eyes, or my ears for that matter. Usagi's cat, Luna, began to talk. "Hurry up, Usagi-chan!"
Before I could step into the room, the two went onto the balcony and leapt to the ground. I suddenly grew nervous. My daughter was out fighting some monstrous creature. The kind all mothers and fathers want to protect their children from.
I sat on Usagi's bed, trying to sort it all out. I realized that she hadn't told me, or any of the family because she wanted to protect us... It still hurts, though.
I jumped when I realized Usagi was back. I left the room, keeping the door open a crack.
"Usagi-chan," Luna began, "you have to get over it. He's lost and there's no way you can save him."
I could tell Usagi was near tears. I just wanted to hold her and tell her everything was going to be all right, but I couldn't. "Luna, you don't understand!" Usagi replied in a hushed whisper. "I don't want to forget about him! I love him... I always have, I always will!"
Usagi turned from the cat and climbed back into bed. Luna sighed and laid next to her. I watch Usagi for a few minutes longer, then head back to bed, tears falling. I have so much respect and pride for my sweet Usagi.
I have such an extraordinary daughter.
And me... I'm just an ordinary mother.
